A randomized controlled trial of enhancing hypoxia-mediated right cardiac mechanics and reducing afterload after high intensity interval training in sedentary men

Abstract Hypoxic exposure increases right ventricular (RV) afterload by triggering pulmonary hypertension, with consequent effects on the structure and function of the RV. Improved myocardial contractility is a critical circulatory adaptation to exercise training. However, the types of exercise that...

This study investigated how high-intensity interval training (HIIT) and moderate-intensity continuous training (MICT) influence right cardiac mechanics during hypoxic exercise A total of 54 young and healthy sedentary males were randomly selected to engage in either HIIT (3-min intervals at 40% and 80% of oxygen uptake reserve, n = 18) or MICT (sustained 60% of oxygen uptake reserve, n = 18) for 30 min/day and 5 days/week for 6 weeks or were included in a control group (CTL, n = 18) that did not engage in any exercise. The primary outcome was the change in right cardiac mechanics during semiupright bicycle exercise under hypoxic conditions (i.e., 50 watts under 12% FiO2 for 3 min) as measured by two-dimensional speckle tracking echocardiography.: After 6 weeks of training, HIIT was superior to MICT in improving maximal oxygen consumption (VO2max). Furthermore, the HIIT group showed reduced pulmonary vascular resistance (PVR, pre-HIIT:1.16 ± 0.05 WU; post-HIIT:1.05 ± 0.05 WU, p < 0.05) as well as an elevated right ventricular ejection fraction (RVEF, pre-HIIT: 59.5 ± 6.0%; post-HIIT: 69.1 ± 2.8%, p < 0.05) during hypoxic exercise, coupled with a significant enhancement of the right atrial (RA) reservoir and conduit functions. HIIT is superior to MICT in dilating RV chamber and reducing radial strain but ameliorating radial strain rate in either systole (post-HIIT: 2.78 ± 0.14 s-1; post-MICT: 2.27 ± 0.12 s-1, p < 0.05) or diastole (post-HIIT: − 2.63 ± 0.12 s-1; post-MICT: − 2.36 ± 0.18 s-1, p < 0.05). In the correlation analysis, the changes in RVEF were directly associated with improved RA reservoir (r = 0.60, p < 0.05) and conduit functions (r = 0.64, p < 0.01) but inversely associated with the change in RV radial strain (r = − 0.70, p < 0.01) and PVR (r = − 0.70, p < 0.01) caused by HIIT. HIIT is superior to MICT in improving right cardiac mechanics by simultaneously increasing RA reservoir and conduit functions and decreasing PVR during hypoxic exercise.Yu-Chieh HuangChih-Chin HsuTieh-Cheng FuJong-Shyan WangNature PortfolioarticleMedicineRScienceQENScientific Reports, Vol 11, Iss 1, Pp 1-14 (2021)
